Connellite from Tolvadden Mine, Cornwall

Connellite from Tolvadden Mine, Marazion, Cornwall, England, UK

Box full of micro specimens containing crystals of connellite from Tolvadden Mine, Cornwall.

Magnification is absolutely essential here; the largest specimen is only around 9MM and the smallest is probably only a millimeter.

Connellite is an uncommon mineral and looks best under high magnification - 20-50x at a minimum. The closeup I've used as the main photo is a stacked image from the largest specimen.

Probably some minor malachite or brochantite with some of them.
